[Comprehensive] Phantom Thief · Phantom Thief

If you want to know what happened last night, you have to turn the time axis a little bit backwards, back to the time when Loki and Kaito were still chatting leisurely and comfortably while eating supper.

At that time, Loki had already selected two Transcendent A-level familiars, one for attack and one for defense, and he conveniently covered these two with a layer of more advanced breath-isolating barriers, and then waved them away to Xiaoling. Personal escort went.

And when the two familiars came to Xiaoling, they happened to catch up with Jin Tianyi and Jianchi police department. Not only that, but even the Meizhishan boy and Yingcun boy gathered in Xiaoling's room. People get together, it seems that they are planning something...

"So, the satellite phone is just a cover, what do you mean, Sister Tiger...do you want to use this to lure the murderer?"

As early as the moment when the blond boy in front of him took the initiative to talk to him in the hall, another black-haired boy who seemed to be younger beside him quickly handed a note in the palm of his hand at the same time. The boy Kindaichi, after returning to the room and opening the note with the Kenji police department, found that there was nothing else on it except a room number.

Curious to a certain extent about these three young boys whose looks and manners are far beyond human comparison, and at the same time wanting to find out the real intentions of each other, Kindaichi and the police department Kenji cautiously approached each other. Staggering the other guests, at this time near midnight, according to the prompt on the note, came to Xiaoling's room.

The self-introduction and explanation of the satellite phone made by the younger sister of the mountain boy inevitably made Kindaichi have the same doubts as before.

But the facts proved that he really underestimated this group of teenagers with extraordinary backgrounds.

"No, Senior Jintianyi, you misunderstood." The blond handsome boy didn't have much offended expression on his face, but had a bright and elegant smile on his face, which made people tremble in his heart whenever he saw it, "The satellite phone is indeed Yes, and I used it to contact the local police before you arrived. After explaining the situation, I got a promise from them that they would send people to climb the mountain when the wind and snow were less severe, and... from the Metropolitan Police Department Got a promise to send a helicopter if necessary."

——In other words, the old man with the sword in the police department is useless now?

After being shocked, Jin Tian, ​​who finally put down a big rock in his heart, couldn't hold back for a while, and turned his thinking to a distorted angle... ==

"But of course, the senior is also right. I really want to use this satellite phone as a bait to lure the murderer, but... I am afraid that the murderer will be too cautious. I would rather take the risk of speeding up the crime on the next target than Before the intelligence is confirmed, they will come to this too obvious trap we set up..."

——Kindaichi knew that the worry of the Meizhishan boy was not unreasonable.

The murderer was able to complete a murder without any notice from his partners in the same group, and at the same time perfectly produced an alibi for himself, which is enough to show that the prisoner they are dealing with now has extraordinary abilities. Rational judgment and careful thinking.

It was hard for Kindaichi to imagine that such a person would voluntarily jump into the trap they dug up.

In front of hundreds of people in the entire hall, the important news of owning a satellite phone was casually leaked out...

I believe that as long as you are a calm and cautious person, you will not have the slightest doubt about it.

So now it seems that it is difficult to judge whether this move of the Meizhishan boy was a good one or a bad one.

However, subconsciously, he felt that the thoughtful young man in front of him could not be able to achieve the level he is currently at. Jin Tianyi calmed down and looked at the beautiful blond boy who said he was worried, but still had a relaxed smile on his face: " So, the younger sister must have some plans?"

Otherwise, why did you ask him and Uncle Jianchi to come here?

The blond boy smiled and nodded, lowered his voice slightly, and began to explain his "plan" to Kindaichi and the others...

※※※

Kaito thought that hearing this was actually enough.

I also had some guesses about the plan of the girl from the mountain of sisters. In addition, this way of using the familiar to broadcast live, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be invading other people's privacy, so Kaito simply pulled the corner of Laloki's clothes. , so that he interrupted the ongoing "live broadcast" of the two familiars sent to protect Xiao Ling last night.

"What? Don't want to continue watching?"

Loki didn't care about that.

"Well, I can guess a little bit about the follow-up development..." It's nothing more than that the two parties jointly designed something, so that the chestnut-haired murderous lady had to know that it was a trap, and she didn't care about herself (?) I jumped down hard...

——In other words, it is self-inflicted.

"But from this point of view, Aunt Hammer PK Uncle Tianshu, the former wins completely..."

Isn’t that right, Kindaichi, who is about to die at every turn, has four, five, six or seven people, and after meeting three beautiful boys from CLAMP Academy, only one person was implicated to death (Kindaichi: It’s none of my business! Why do you say that I was implicated = dish=!) and successfully captured the murderer, isn’t this a complete defeat in the hacking contest?

Sure enough, the plug-ins of the aunts either don’t open, or they open in seconds...

After silently sighing, Kaito was about to say something more, but Loki grabbed his shoulders suddenly!

"Kaito, come and see this!"

Before he had time to complain or get angry, Kaito was pushed by Loki before the "rebroadcast" screen that had been interrupted before.

Unusually sci-fi, floating in front of the two of them on the rebroadcast screen at the moment is projecting the real murderous lady who was captured on the spot.

Kaito and Loki didn't care about her identity and motives. What really surprised them was the name that popped up one after another in the confession she was making...

— Pluto!

This is not the first time that Kaito and Loki have heard this name among the prisoners.

"I remember last time, in the threatening letter incident commissioned by Mr. Yuhei Hashima's agent, the name 'Pluto' appeared?" Loki raised his eyebrows, but this time Loki was a little aroused Interested.

Didn't carry it out personally, but was behind the scenes responsible for planning criminal activities and providing criminal plans?

Pluto...is really an interesting "criminal organization".

Kaito frowned slightly, and the expression on his face was not so much troubled, but rather a hint of enlightenment: "I'll just say..."

Although they do not belong to the same work, the original case of "Detective Academy Q" to which Pluto belongs and the "Kindaichi Boy Case File" to which Kindaichi belongs are the same person, so it seems that the two parties appeared in the same case. It's not a violation...

...not against your sister==＋

Momo raised his middle finger in the bottom of his heart without demeanor, and Kaito said that a big killer is already scary enough, okay?So many gods of death gathered together... Author, what are you trying to do!Are you bombarding Area 11 internally?Please please don't do this!Your logic will definitely die if you continue like this!

Turning his face away, trying not to make his expression look so ferocious and distorted, Kaito calmed down for a long time, and finally he was able to face Loki who was looking at him suspiciously with his usual elegant and calm posture: "It's okay, I just I think... this Pluto really...does not pick customers==”

——Such a little girl from high school will not be spared, Pluto, how hungry are you all!

The corners of Loki's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and looking at the chestnut-haired girl in the projection who would have been as tall as the Meizhishan boy who was still in elementary school, if he was a little smaller, he suddenly felt... Kaito's words seemed to be true That's right.

※※※

In any case, the case was perfectly resolved, and under the operation of the Meizhishan boy, the Metropolitan Police Department directly dispatched a special helicopter with excellent maneuverability for wind and snow weather to escort the real culprit who has been arrested and brought to justice—— Saito Lily girl (finally has a name==).

As the "great hero" who personally arrested the prisoner, Jin Tianyi and the police department of Kenji naturally left together at random to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to make investigation records.

And the three-person group of beautiful boys from CLAMP Academy, headed by the boy from Meizhishan, is also planning to take the opportunity to leave together.

Although they originally came here for extra-curricular skiing teaching, but now that the mountain is covered by heavy snow, let alone skiing, it is very difficult to stand outside to see the scenery of the snow-capped mountain, so the president of Meizhishan, who has never wronged himself, made the decision immediately Decided to go out to the mountains with the helicopter - if you don't make good use of this convenience, you will be really stupid.

However, what surprised Kaito was that shortly before the helicopter arrived, the boy from Meizhishan came to his and Loki's room in person and invited them to leave with them...

"I heard Ling mention before that he met a big brother who is very congenial and takes good care of him. Although Su Fang and I are just seniors in Ling's school, we are in different classes and even different grades. The biggest intersection is only in It's just to carry out the work of the student union and club activities together, but for me and Su Fang, Ling is like our blood brother, worthy of being valued and protected, so we have always wanted to find a chance to meet Hei Yu Senior, thank you for taking care of Ling."

With a smile on his face, the blond boy explained his visit to Kaito in a polite and courteous manner.

"Now we have an opportunity, I hope Senior Heiyu will not think that we are rude."

"How could it be?" From the expression and tone of the boy from Meizhishan, he could see the importance he attached to Xiaoling, so Kaidou also showed a smile full of sincerity: "Xiaoling is like a younger brother to me." , a very important existence, so now knowing that he has such reliable two elder brothers to take care of him in school, I am really relieved."

"So... Will Senior Black Feather accept my invitation to visit my family's ski resort in the next two days? Of course, the premise is that Senior has no other arrangements and plans after this." Boy Shan was quite satisfied with Kaidou's reply, so he took advantage of the opportunity and offered his invitation.

Kaito quickly exchanged glances with Loki when he heard the words, and then caught a glimpse of the hopeful little face of the black-haired young lady not far away...

Thinking that I didn't have any special arrangements for this weekend, and I couldn't enjoy my skiing the day before due to various reasons. In addition, even if I continued to stay in the hotel, I was trapped in the hotel by the snowstorm on Huishan Mountain and couldn't go out. , Kaito simply accepted the invitation of the Meizhishan boy, quickly packed his luggage, and together with Rocky, boarded the helicopter to Meizhishan's private ski resort.

It's just that Kaito doesn't know at this time, in the not-too-distant future, what awaits him will be another...

"surprise".
